I use my iPhone when sharing them with people like my parents and friends to show what I’ve made. I use Buncee with my school iPad to make and edit the image.

One of the most pervasive myths about the benefits of technology in education, and learning in general, is the need for digital tools to be available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The two pieces of technology I did bring with me were my wife’s old Kindle and an iPad. The Kindle is really convenient.

The basic premise (I suggest you read the whole article ) is that a 17 year old working at BlackBoard (a technology company), is ridiculed for using their phone during a meeting by some older adults, because it looks like he is texting, while he is actually taking notes.

Let me make sure I’m clear here – I’m interested in the “push,” in the stories we tell about machines more so than the technology underpinning the machines themselves. They’re part of our cultural imaginary as much as they are about a technological reality that we face today. A good myth.
